Facts I say it all the time this is the best basketball podcast
I actually hope it stays underground, real hoop fans
@@vvonpanzerr3092 facts tho let em stay sleep
I don’t understand y some ppl hating on him? He is very humble and gives credit where its due…some of yall just miserable
Underrated pod, y’all on the up
Great PC and and as a UT alumni I was really glad to see the interview with Grant Williams.
Best pod out for a minute now. Y’all funny asf 😂
Grants not being honest lol after game 4 u cannot be “ they just got lucky they weren’t supposed to win that game and they can’t mess with us “ lol it’s because y’all thought that way that’s y y’all ended up loosing 3 straight cause and yeah they did have y’all after game 4 🤣🤣.
man grant not lying! finals last yr game 3, 4th quarter...steph hit grant w the most vicious step back on the wing lmaoo. n im a celtics fan

Keep the Celtic players coming!! 🍀🍀🍀
Staying locked in from Uganda 🇺🇬 East Africa 🌍!
This was amazing
Possibly my fav podcast set ✨
Draymond and wiggs played better defense then grant ever can on luka 😂😂😂
Let him have his moment but wiggins really got under lukas skin
Yep
Lol, what did Luka avg against the dubs?…. I’m pretty sure it was 30+ a game 😂😂
@@levibedilu4991 on garbage efficiency
@@levibedilu4991 which was exactly what warriors wanted, gas him out and force him to be the primary scorer instead of letting him playmake. Plus the shots he made, probably only luka and kobe can make lol
Dope interview
good interview fr
Hes such a great guy
Great show fellas ☘️
real hoops fan pod 💎
YEAH ONLY 1% OFF ATHLETES MAKES IT PRO. ITS ON THE REST OF US 99%💩🏀 WE JUST THINK WE HOPPERS BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH
I like grant Williams very down to 🌎
Steph did not have a bad game 3 lol I don't think he had a bad overall game the entire series aside from the 3-ball in game 5.
Yea
And it cracks me up grant saying the C’s are the better team
Bruh just got served 5 of 7 games with one this year and he still saying they better
Maybe in nba2k but not in real life till they beat them more than they loose
Yeah it definitely wasn't game 3 I think he was shooting around 50% from 3 before game 5
@@davidbaggs2273 do you expect him to say the warriors are better? And as of right now the C’s are superior
@@Birclek Dubs have been injured for the better part of the year, and its not based on when they match up. C's got dominated the last game they played, so how are they superior?
Grant Williams is good dude man and a great player
The concept of NBA players getting heated over Settlers of Catan is so, so good to me. I don't even wanna say funny, it just fuckin rules
grant got his wish granted he’s playing with luka now
Dude has a legit well thought out marvel dc team wow. I was impressed as a comic fan. Respect ✊🏿
Best Celtics player 💯💯
2nd chance points is one of the biggest things you have to stop to win games. It drains teams when you play perfect D, cause them to take a bad shot, they miss and get a put back! It takes Defense out of games, they eventually give up after a certain amount of off Rebs.
10/10 episode
That boy was getting cooked and so was the so called defensive player of the year Marcus smart lol
great 2 way defender player
Man Grant I like you and all but that’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard lately.
Te better team is the one that’s won 5 out of 7 games man.
You don’t get to say you better until you win more against that team goofy!!
Wow the ego. Give them their flowers or beat them one of the two
He lost me the moment he said they’re the best team last finals. Goes to show he doesn’t even know whats real from not real. Thanks to talking heads feeding their (empty) heads. Now I know why they can’t even reach finals this year.
Jb is hilarious for that 😂😂
🔥🔥🔥
🔥
loll grant funny as hell
Batman does a good interview
Shoutout to knuckleheads for that first question
Spiderman at the 1 100%
It's still new but it'll blow up soon
5:19 and he just happened to play with him
"im pickin luka for sure" yoooo no mark cuban pickin you grant!
Nice that they invited Jimmy's son to the podcast
Ainn nobody leaving JT and JB off the best duo lists quit capping 🧢
i remember the ben simmons jawn b4 the philly game lmaoo two sided jab 😂
the dg mention made me smile, thats my pg ⚔️
your not special😂
@@koanrisko7926 you’re*
Game 3 curry drop 31 points is a bad game?☠️
n cooked grant in the 4th w a step back on the wing. Cs won easily. thats proof that series was more abt Cs O v Dubs D than it was abt steph being unstoppable
Classic casual that only knows how to look at the box score… please learn that the game is about efficiency did he drop 31 efficiently or not?
@@coopercollins5076 your question can be answered by looking at the box score lmao
@@nickjones5495 facts lol
Let's be honest. Celtics CHOKED. Warriors winning was lucky.
You guys gotta get blame griffin it would be so funny
It Is always Dillion brooks huh 😂
warriors need motivations
I thought bucket hat was Kendrick Lamar
Gotta do a lil better in the content it gets dry then gets lit again
Dipping his toes in both Sand Boxes hahhh!
Then Grant means last Season Starting Best Five is 1 to 5 below:
1) Marcus Smart BAT MAN Cerebral Gadget Thrower
2) Jaylen Brown SUPER MAN Mr. Do Anything
3) Jayson Tatum BLACK PANTHER The King of Everything
4) Williams Bro. MR. FANTASTIC Long & Durable
5) Al Horford HULK Angrier the better
your only good video
Does Grant Williams know that his biggest fan is Ugandan....♥
Giannis is coming C's
The funniest shit ever is when bg dunked on Paul gasol twice in the same game 😂
He’s looking to confident 😂 they ain’t sweeping the nets again
Nets are going to demolish these fools, mf talking about facing the Warriors in the Finals 🥴
Flash would smoke all of them 1 v 5.
First
steph hit some ignorant shots end of game 4. contested 35 footers. even still if Cs score at a normal pace...not even to their standard...they win in 5/6
Warriors defense should have just let them score more. Jeesh. What were they thinking proving they had the superior defense?
@@kevinmclain4080 that's my point guy. I'm sick of the narrative that it was boston's drop coverage that lost the finals. or that steph overpowered them offensively
warriors defense n boston's inexperience was the story of that series. n steph was unreal but boston's defense was solid too. they held warriors 9ppg below their playoff average. warriors couldn't crack 108 all series
@@taylor7264 I don't like to even consider totals since they dont account for pace
Playoff Off Rating
Warriors 114.5
Celtics 110.3
Finals Off Rating
Warriors 110.0
Celtics 105.6
The difference was just 4.5/100 points
@@kevinmclain4080 Ok. that's thorough analysis. but does the playoff rating include the finals? the pre finals rating is the one we need to look at.
4.5 is still a very significant margin tho. still. contend Cs defense wasn't the problem
@@taylor7264 the inexperience narrative is a fraudulent excuse. The facts are the Warriors defense, and Curry's offense took out the Celtics. That's how you win Championships.
show as funnier before the guests.
yall are steph haters
bru delusional he doesn't think nobody can cook him no matter how many points they have lol
British bulldog lookin ahh
red nose pitbull face ahh
Why y’all have to lie to him & say he should be #1 paid in the league ? He’s great but cmon
Celtics aren't going to the finals this year
